Demystified » Mezcal » How to Drink it

The only right way to drink mezcal according to any Mexican would be just knocking it back like a shot (with the worm of course).

However if that’s too fiery a proposition, one could add some lemon juice to it and top the drink up with tonic water, soda or even ginger-ale.

On the cocktail front there really are no great classics but the door is completely open to experimentation; the most common ones heard of are the Mezcal Margarita and the Mezcal Martini.
